Allya, a beluga whale at an aquarium in Hamada City, Japan, wows spectators by blowing bubbles at them.

"She has long been blowing water through her mouth when playing, so we thought that if there was a way to get air into her mouth, we would be able to get her to blow bubble rings," said keeper Daisuke Hirano.

Her new skill was displayed to the public last December and since then, her fame has spread. Locals even believe that those who are the target of Allya's "happy bubble ring kisses" will have happiness bestowed upon them.
